Earl Thomas played a crucial role in Seattle’s shocking upset over New Orleans, making plays all over the field. Thomas had 8 tackles in the victory over the Saints, who entered the game as 11 point favorites.
Other than an amazing season for Jamaal Charles, the former Longhorn defenders outperformed the offensive players for the most part this season.

Jamaal Charles continues breaking long runs and breaking records. JC added another 126 yards on the ground this week off just 11 carries, sliding him into 3rd place in the league with 1,303 rushing yards.
Jamaal Charles called his performance “embarrassing” after carrying the ball just 10 times for 40 yards and catching 2 passes for 9 yards on Sunday, his fewest carries and yards all season.
Ricky Williams has now rushed for more yards than any other former Longhorn, having just passed Earl Campbell with 48 yards off 10 carries on Sunday.
This week, Roy Williams nearly sealed a win for the Cowboy on Thanksgiving day by catching a short pass and turning on the jets for a 47-yard catch-and-run but let the Saints’ Malcolm Jenkins chase him down from behind and strip the ball on the 11-yard line with just 3 minutes left in the game.
The Tennessee crowd let Vince Young have it right from the start, booing him repeatedly following a fumble on the first drive. Later on, VY left the game with a thumb injury in the 3rd quarter and turned his frustration right around to the fans and coach Jeff Fisher.
One week after signing a huge contract extension (5 years for $34 million, $15 million guaranteed), Derrick Johnson continued his season-long trend of stringing together Pro Bowl worthy performances.
